Nadam is a Kathak institute headed by Nandani and Murali.
They are a happy married couple who dance and also teach dance.
Kathak is something i always wanted to and want to learn, its just that there is this time which is not letting me to learn.
Nadam started their performance with a Ganesha Vandana- It was a composition of stuthi on lord Nataraja moving on to Ganesha. It was a duet performance by the couple themselves. Their foot work was amazing and chemistry was a burst out.
They moved on to theen taal- This piece consisted of 16 beats in three stages and three speeds where the explained the speed in which the water flows. It also included the swaal jawab where 2 people do and the rest of the troupe copy the same. this was done excellently i was baffled by seeing the foot work and co ordination.
Varsha- Depiction of monsoon, thunder,Rain drops, water spells and Dancing of Peacock. This item was mind blowing excellent piece, well depicted conveyed clearly to the audience.
Ruseela Madhav- How can any one forget this person? Yes! it is him the cutest lord Krishna. this was a complete abhinaya piece by the couple. The chemistry was wonderful here. I can say this was the best item out of all because it interacted well with the audience and i was mesmerized floating into the world of krishna.
Tharana- Its usually the last item presented in a Kathak program. This item depicts the end of a show. In this item the co dancers and the couple came in together and persented the item very nicely. Though Nandini and Murali are the teachers they never seemed like a teacher they looked like one among the students.
After watching the show it makes me even more interested to learn kathak its so graceful and nice.
